+### Smart Hierarchy Detection
+
+TreeDex uses multiple strategies to accurately extract document structure, especially for large (300+ page) documents:
+
+- **PDF ToC extraction** — If the PDF has bookmarks/outline, the tree is built directly from it — zero LLM calls needed
+- **Font-size heading detection** — Analyzes font sizes across the document and injects `[H1]`/`[H2]`/`[H3]` markers so the LLM knows exactly which level each heading belongs to
+- **Capped continuation context** — For multi-chunk documents, the LLM sees a summary of top-level sections + recent sections instead of the full history, preventing prompt bloat
+- **Orphan repair** — If the LLM outputs `"2.3.1"` without a `"2.3"` parent, synthetic parents are auto-inserted to maintain a valid tree

+|----------|--------|---------|-------------|
+| ToC → sections | `toc_to_sections(toc)` | `tocToSections(toc)` | Convert PDF ToC entries to numbered sections |
+| Repair orphans | `repair_orphans(sections)` | `repairOrphans(sections)` | Insert synthetic parents for orphaned subsections |
+| Extract PDF ToC | `extract_toc(path)` | `await extractToc(path)` | Get ToC from PDF bookmarks (returns `None`/`null` if unavailable) |
+
 ### Cross-language Index Compatibility
 
 TreeDex uses the **same JSON index format** in both Python and Node.js. All field names use `snake_case` in the JSON:
